CAPS LOCK

I just noticed that the caps lock button on my laptop’s keyboard is awesome. The sheer ingenuity it must have taken for it to be designed cannot be overstated. But I shall try to explain it in words.

So the caps lock button takes up a certain amount of space, but it’s actually raised on only part of that space. Why is this awesome? Because it increases the space between the “a” button and the caps lock button, reducing accidental presses.

Oh, I can hear your thoughts right now. “Wtf, did I just read about caps lock?”. Um, don’t underestimate this! How many times have you accidentally pressed caps lock while typing on a laptop? This solves that problem.

In fact, the rest of this keyboard is genius. Bigger keys with little space in between (as opposed to “island style”) to mimic a fullsized keyboard. The fn key moved to the very left and the ctrl key in its place instead. I mean, why put the ctrl key there? It just makes you stretch more, which is stupid when such an easy alternative exists.

Man, someone spent time designing this. Someone gets paid to think about caps lock. And that someone deserves a raise.

Ha! If you’re reading this, that means you just wasted your time reading this WHOLE meaningless post about a keyboard!
